Listings verified
Brunch in Scottsdale is a morning meal. Nearly every kitchen on this list opens between 6:30 and 8am and stops serving by 2 or 2:30pm, with only a couple stretching to 3pm or later on weekends. The list is ordered by how settled each reputation is: a high rating backed by thousands of reviews outranks an equally high rating with a few hundred.
1. Butters Pancakes & Cafe
A 4.7 average across 3,586 reviews is the most proven record in Scottsdale brunch, and it holds up seven days a week. The Northsight Boulevard cafe opens at 6:30am and closes at 2:30pm daily, which makes it the earliest reliable option here for anyone who wants breakfast before the rest of the city is out. The menu is long, with breakfast, lunch and kids' sections; reviewers single out the classic eggs benedict and the gluten-free pancakes. Come early on weekends, since the room draws a steady morning crowd and there is no dinner service to spread demand out.
2. The Eleanor
The highest-rated room on the list at 4.7, though from 482 reviews rather than thousands, so treat it as strongly promising rather than settled. It is built for one meal: open daily 7am to 2pm on North Hayden Road, with a menu organized around toasts, bowls and benedicts. The toast section runs from a ricotta scramble version to avocado and a sweet date option. Order-ahead is available through the restaurant if you are working around a short window. Between the single-service focus and the short hours, this is the closest thing in Scottsdale to a dedicated brunch house.
3. Hash Kitchen
The pick when brunch means drinks as much as eggs: the Gainey Village location on North Scottsdale Road runs a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar alongside the food menu. A 4.5 rating over 2,084 reviews is a well-tested number for a room this busy. Weekday hours run 7am to 2:30pm, and Saturday and Sunday extend to 4pm, the latest close of anywhere on this list, which makes it the fallback for a late group. It is listed as a bar as much as a restaurant, so expect volume and noise rather than a quiet table.
4. EGGstasy
Worth it for the savory end of the menu: chicken chilaquiles, breakfast tacos, chicken and biscuits, a breakfast panini, smoked wild salmon and a breakfast burrito. The rating is 4.4 from 1,090 reviews, enough volume to call it dependable rather than a coin flip. The Shea Boulevard address opens at 7am every day, closing at 2pm Monday through Friday and 2:30pm on Saturday and Sunday. That extra half hour on weekends is slim, so a party arriving after 1pm should plan on a wait rather than a leisurely start.
5. JoJo Coffeehouse Breakfast & Brunch
A coffeehouse that serves a full breakfast menu, not just pastry: traditional breakfast, breakfast burrito, southwest hash, egg scramble and breakfast tacos. The rating sits at 4.3 across 1,926 reviews, a large enough sample that the number is unlikely to move much. Doors open at 7am seven days a week on North Scottsdale Road. Closing time is the thing to watch, as the restaurant's own listings have shown both an early-afternoon and a 2pm close, so call ahead if you are aiming for the tail end of service rather than the morning.
6. Prep & Pastry
The Old Town option, on East Via Soleri Drive, and the one with the longest weekend service window besides Hash Kitchen: Friday through Sunday it runs 7am to 3pm, with Monday through Thursday shortened to 8am until 2pm. The 4.3 rating comes from 644 reviews, a moderate sample, so the record is reasonably established but not on the scale of Butters or Hash Kitchen. The kitchen covers breakfast, lunch and brunch on one menu, which helps if half the table wants eggs and the other half does not.
7. Farm and Craft Scottsdale
Last on the list because the rating is the lowest here, 4.2 from 1,767 reviews, which is a large enough sample to take seriously. What it offers that the others do not is hours: the North Scottsdale Road dining room stays open into the evening, with brunch and lunch served until 3pm and happy hour from 2pm to 6pm Monday through Friday. Reservations open daily starting at 3pm, so brunch is walk-in territory. Choose it for a farm-to-table menu and a later start, not for the strongest scores in this category.
What we left off
OEB Breakfast Co. on North Scottsdale Road rates 4.5 from 846 reviews, but it operates as a multi-location breakfast group with a US locations directory rather than a single Scottsdale kitchen, so it falls outside our no-chains rule. Matt's Big Breakfast also came up in research and carries a 4.5 across more than 5,500 reviews, but the address on that listing is North 1st Street in Phoenix, outside Scottsdale, so it is not a fit for a Scottsdale guide.
